PREFACE.
!HE following facsimiles of Point-
Lace are selected from specimens
in the valuable collection at the
South Kensington Museum, and are pub-
lished with the sanction of the authorities
of that Institution, for which sanction the
Author is very grateful, as she is thus
afforded an opportunity of diffusing among
the public a few antique examples, as stan-
dard models of beauty to those who now
endeavour to revive the long-neglected art
of needle lace-making.
